SAD-IRON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 501,264, dated July 11, 1893.

Application filed July 22, 1892. Serial No. 440,901. (No model.)

T0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JAMES M. WIsHART, a citizen of the United States, residing at North Topeka, in the county of Shawnee and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Sad-Iron, of .which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to sad irons and the object thereof is to secure improvements in devices of this character which will render the same more available for the uses set forth.

With these and many other objects in view which will readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated and claimed.

In th'e accompanying drawings,-Figur e l is a side elevation of a sad iron provided with a heating apparatus as contemplated by this invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse sectional view on theline 3--3 of Fig. 2. Fig. Llis an enlarged detail sectional view of the gas receiving head. Y Fig. 5 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of a modification. Fig. 6 is a detail perspective View partly in section, showing more clearly the connection of the heating device to the hollow body.

Referring to the accompanying drawings,- A represents the hollow smoothing or iiat iron having the front and rear notches ot in the front and rear ends thereof, and the upwardly extending shouldered lugs B at the point thereof and on both sides of the front recess at such point. An oil pipe C rests in the front notch or recess of said iron and is provided in front of such point with an upwardly extending supporting portion D, which removably receives the gasoline reservoir E, which supplies the said pipe with the oil, and is designed of the rear notch or recess a, of said body and are designed to receive the securing bolts G passing through the end of the body to removably secure the burner within the body and the gas receiver F in the rear notch or recess in said body thus allowing the same to be readily removed when desired. The said receiver F is provided with a gas reservoir or passage H, which leads into the outer depending passage I, from which passage leads the needle valve opening J, which is arranged directly opposite the threaded burner opening K, into which is removably screwed the horizontal gas burner tube L and extending throughout the hollow body directly under the oil pipe C, and is provided in its under face with a series of gas escapes or openings Z, which allow the gas escaping therefrom to be ignited and to thoroughly heat up the body for the purpose for which it is adapted. The receiver F is further provided with the threaded neck M projecting outward directly opposite the needle valve opening .land 1s adapted to receive the interiorly threading packing cap M. The said packing cap M accommodates suitable asbestus or other packing N, and is provided with a threaded opening O in the end thereof, which opening is designed to receive the threaded portion of the needle valve pin Q. The said needle valve pin Q is unthreaded its entire length excepting near the outer squared end thereof as at q, which works in said packing cap beyond the packing therein and provides means for adjusting the needle point q', carried by said pin within the needle valve opening J. By having the needle valve pin threaded into the packing cap as described, it is rendered impossible for broken threads to be carried into thevalve openin g, and bynot working through the packing, the packing will not become cut so as to cause a leak.

The rear end of the body A is extended as at R and is provided with an integral oil cup r, arranged directly under the open air recess S, between the needle valvel opening J, and the outer open end of the burner tube into which the gas is jetted, and in starting the apparatus the said oil cup serves to provide means for generating gas in the receiver until the burner itself, and the heat of the body IOO vaporizes the fluid as it passes through the oil pipe arranged within said bodyand di rectly over the burner tube therein.

The upper open side of .the body A is inclosed by the cap or cover T, which is designed to fit the top of the body and have the toe thereof engage the shouldered lugs B at the point of the body, and is removably held in position by means of the set screwt Work ing through the rear end of the body and against said cover, said cover being provided with a handle U for moving the iron. If so desired the entire gas heating apparatus may be removed from the hollow body and aheated slug V placed therein and held in position by the cover T so as to provide ready means for heating the body.

It is thought that the operation of the herein described heater is apparent Without further description.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a device ofthe class described,the combination With a hollow sad iron having end notches; of the heating apparatus resting Within said notches and having a gas receiver provided with laterally extending notched
